Closing speaker
The Next-Generation Learner
(Presentation is available in PowerPoint
or pdf format)
Diane Oblinger, Vice President of EDUCAUSE
For the past decade, pundits have talked about how information
technology has changed how we work, live, and learn. At
the same time, learners have changed. The learning styles,
attitudes, and approaches of today's high school students
differ from those of 18- to 22-year-old college students.
Those of adult learners are different, yet again. An essential
component of creating effective learning environments
is understanding learners. This presentation will describe
some of what we know about "the next-generation learner"
and ponder the implications for education and engagement. |
